Changing gears, working towards the JNO-1 now

After a good bit of thought about it and re-review of the Juniper Cert. Track, I've decided to work towards the first level Juniper Cert, which will be a good match for my CCNA at this point, and the work we are increasingly doing at my job.

So, I'll be preparing for the JNO-101 test, to achieve the JNCIA Associate certification. The next logical step from there would the the JNCIS-SP for service providers. This I will likely shelve until finishing the CCNP.

I hope to test for the JNO-101 by the end of February.

OSPF LSA Packet from Wireshark

Just thought I'd post this for those that haven't had the chance to check out Wireshark and see what's actually in one of those packets passing.

More IOS/Junos OSPF

For those wanting to begin training in Junos and have Junos on Olive here is the Juniper learning portal link to Junos as a Second Language. You'll have to register to gain access.

Added another Junos Router and am working with Stubs and NSSA's

Wireshark capture

Just a pic of wireshark running and capturing em1 on the Juniper. Only problem with this is that when you start the capture you have to reload the juniper. I wasn't sure if my config would remain. It did, but it takes forever to restart.

cisco - Juniper ospf configuration

It's coming along... Slowly

One of the things I've found is that in the Graphical representation, on the Junos routers, GNS3 doesn't apparently always label the ports correctly. em0/e0 isn't always on the correct side as it is represented in Dynamips.

But we have neighborship.

Juniper config

Our Chosen position #2 for job growth through 2018

Gotta like where we sit...

Now that I'm restarting in OSPF, I'm going to be attempting to integrate Junos configs into my networks as I go.

Currently, I'm still working on getting the Junos config to save. So far I can't get the Junos router to go to log-in from a saved config.

2012 WILL BE HUGE !

After taking 2011 pretty much off, It's back to the rat races again, both literally and figuratively.

2012 New Years Resolutions


1. get my CCNP and/or CCIP and move into an Engineering slot at the end of the year or early next.
2. Lose 20 lbs, both for my joints as I age, and for 20lbs less in the autocross car. I carry 200lbs ok, but I'd like to get into a 34inch waist from my tight 36 now. I'll wait to buy a race seat until I accomplish this... ;-)
3. Make it to all the races I plan to.
4. Get us fully financially healthy so that more can go into the college funds starting 2013
5. Win at least one trophy in STX at a national level race.
6. Win STX locally at both SPOKES and SASCA.

Moving on to OSPF

Another lil' break but getting charged up to push on. Working OSPF sims and some reading.
